Miami took OKC's best shot early and they're going to close out OKC in Game 5. LBJ has consistently been the best player on the floor, which includes Russell Westbrook's sensational Game 4. Even though the series is going to end in 5 games, this is probably the best 5 game series we've ever seen, if only because of the sheer athleticism. This NBA Finals has been NBAPorn.

Miami is the tougher team. OKC might be better from top to bottom, but the margin is smaller than we thought, and Miami's 4 through 10 players are coming up bigger than OKC's 4 through 10. Durant and Westbrook have been terrific, but OKC's #3 guy, Harden, hasn't played as well in this series as he did in the Western Conference playoffs.

I'm not sure this Miami team is going to win more than 1, but they are going to get 1. OKC, on the other hand, is learning the hard way about what it takes to win Finals games. They've consistently had a number of bad possessions, bad shots, bad fouls at the end of the game. If you saw Durant last night, you saw how much this hurts him. Losing games and a series like this is going to make that entire team tougher and better.

OKC has been playing 5 on 8. The officiating has been so blatantly in Miami's favor it makes you question whether a fix is in. Westbrook had his first foul shot attempt when he already had 35 points? No excuse for that. Horrible!
